The Southern Business Council (SBC) is a trade organization that promotes smarter business, greater opportunities, and stronger communities throughout Virginia and surrounding states.

Connecting Businesses

We provide valuable support to our members, and the broader small business community, through hosting professional networking events, providing timely updates and analysis on relevant issues, and offering an open forum for members to exchange ideas and resources.

Civic Engagement

Because the success of small businesses is dependent on the support of the public sector, we are committed to providing our members opportunities to share their interests and concerns with key policymakers from all parties and levels of government.

Diverse Membership

Our members are leaders in a wide variety of industries, including: information technology companies, investment firms, medical and legal practices, government contractors, food service suppliers, and more.

Many of our member businesses are minority-owned or cater to minority communities across the region. With such a varied membership, we are especially dedicated to promoting and protecting civil liberties as a necessary part of ensuring equal opportunity for all.
